Arterial Treatment of Neurological Diseases, Gebunden

Klappentext

Drug delivery by injecting them through arteries poses unique challenges. The first attempts at local drug delivery to treat malignant brain tumors by arterial injections were undertaken soon after World War II. However, arterial drug delivery has not advanced significantly over the last seventy years. The current universally accepted applications of arterial drugs are limited to treating retinoblastomas and metastatic liver cancers. Although arterial drug delivery is used to treat several neurological conditions, other than for localization of brain functions, its applications remain unproven in robust scientific studies.

This multi-author book brings together experienced researchers and clinicians to investigate all aspects of arterial drug delivery for treating neurological diseases. It's an essential resource for various medical subspecialties aimed to promote pharmacological and clinical research with this mode of drug delivery.
